Infusin’ Tuesday

Having waited patiently for Crafted Taste’s cherries to infuse with my amaretto (48 hours!), I was excited to finally give this drink a try. Also, I’m a fan of all three words of the drink’s name — cherries remind me of ice cream, almonds are a wonderfully tasty source of protein, AND fizz….who doesn’t love fizz? Anyway, pretty interesting drink to put together, still loving using egg whites in a drink. The cocktail was really good, 3.5 or 4 out of 5 — I probably used more sparkling wine than advised (just noticed they said to use 2 or 3 ounces), so it might have been a little watered down, but the sharp flavor shined through. I really enjoyed the cherry/amaretto flavor which was surprisingly strong given you only use 1 ounce. It had that fruity hit but wasn’t overly syrupy or boring. Loved it, looking forward to next months’s recipe!
